Mine arrived last night. They are smaller than I was expecting, but the paintjobs are much better than I was expecting. They look way better in person than online - colors look less thick and gastly, and the paintjobs much neater. It could be because the website pics are blown up, like I said these guys are quite small.
Shellhead you best avoid seeing these at the event centre or you'll probably buckle.
Haven't looked throught them all yet (or even checked I got the right ones!) but I'm glad I got them, I certainly feel they are well worth the $4 asking price (good aussie dollar helps )
Now I just have to figure out how and where to store them.

It's like you're reading my mind while I'm reading your post. For the quality that you're describing, $4 is a great price, and I do love me some Arkham Horror. And i was just thinking the other day how I could use the AH small expansion boxes and some foamcore to store those minis. But I'm saving money for a downpayment on a house next year, so I can't justify spending the $200 right now.
I was just going to dump all of the figs into a cocke lunchbox thing I have (One stores all my painted terrinoth heroes) but the figs come in these little shell packages that seem a shame to chuck out. The shells aren't glued so they are easy to open and close (as an aside these things would be a nightmare in a store - stolen figures left and right).
DAMMIT. They must give off toxic fumes or something, right? Do they emit a high-pitch whine? Come on... I need to these to suck or I might as well just hand over my wallet.
I noticed that some online stores have the whole collection at a discount price (e.g.
$172.36 from Boards and Bits
). But I haven't seen the individual minis for sale anywhere but FFG's site. So presumably, the special sales condition they are offering to stores that want to carry the minis is exclusive to the whole set.
We are nagging a friend who really likes to own these but couldn't justify buying them to his family. So every time he spends money in any way, like consuming a cup of coffee or a box cigarettes, we say: "Ahh, there goes another Arkham Horror mini." It drives him mad because he knows it's true. >

I doubt it, more likely the profit margin on these is too tight to sell them individually. Don't want to be left with odd stock.
Otherwise why would FFG care how you sold them?

Well, it's not that they care how you sell them, but maybe they couldn't give stores any kind of deal for individual ones, so the only real offer they could make for stores was for selling the whole set? In any case, it may be too soon to say... they might end up in some stores individually after all. I could see stores selling these for $5 each... and me buying several if I was there and wishing I'd just bought the whole set online for cheaper.
I'm just chiming in here to verify what Skeletor said. Mine arrived as well last week, and they are small enough that the painting flaws really don't show up, and they aren't as brightly painted as the photos would indicate - also a plus.
